ShestakUI OzEdit

ShestakUI_OzEdit is my edited version of ShestakUI, feel free to use it if you like it.

Just like the original ShestakUI, this is a pixel perfect, multilingual, lightweight, modular and complete UI overhaul, suitable for PvE, PvP and RP; almost all the default frames are skinned and are also included skins of many other AddOns to better fit to the UI style (you’ll find a complete list here).

The UI works with any resolution above 1280 pixels horizontally (full screen mode and 1x multisampling) and its installation is easy and automatic: just a few clicks.

Typing "/moveui", you can move most of the elements of the UI and you'll find the UI options menu typing "/cfg"; instead, to reload the whole interface, just type "/rl".

Mouseovering the bottom right corner of the chat, you'll find a button: * Left click it to copy the chat text. ** Right click it to open the chat menu. ** Middle click it to make a roll (1-100).

If you're looking for the micro menu, right click on the minimap or, if you prefer, enable the micro menu by the options menu.

Compared to the original ShestakUI, the major differences are aesthetic changes (mainly regarding default positions and unit frames) and also I've embedded some nice features proposed by Shestak UI forum members.

Some Useful Slash Commands* "/align" --> To show a grid useful for positioning the frames. ** "/clear" --> To clean the chat.*** "/tdr" --> To show and move the embedded diminishing returns tracker.**** "/teb" --> To show the Extra Action Button (Shift + left click near the icon border to move it). ***** "/uihelp" --> To show many other slash commands of the UI.

The default raid setup is the 25-Man: if you want to show more or fewer groups, you can enable/disable them with the options menu (up to 40-Man).

Optional Setups
If you play with DBM, you might consider to use in game this slash command to get an optimal configuration: "/settings dbm".
If you don't want to use the combat text of ShestakUI and prefer to play with MSBT, you might consider to use in game this slash command to get an optimal configuration: "/settings msbt".
If you play with Skada, you might consider to use in game this slash command to get an optimal configuration: "/settings skada".

There's also a slash command for an optimal configuration of DXE ("/settings dxe"), but as far as I know at the moment that mod is outdated.

Localization
As I already said, ShestakUI is a multilingual UI and all localizations are supported, however the Italian is my native language and all localization strings added by me are "Goooooooooogle translated" (except those in English and those in Italian): your help for a more accurate translation is welcome!

F.A.Q.
The UI has its own in game menu, but you can't change all the options with it: to change some of them (like color borders, fonts or the positions of buff/cooldown/debuff/proc. tracker) you need to manually edit some .lua files.
Use a plain text editor (I suggest Notepad++), open the ShestakUI folder (or the ShestakUI_Filger folder) and then open the Config folder: you'll find some .lua files. Open the file you want to edit with the plain text editor and start to change the options as you want, but remember to backup those files before updating or you'll lose your editing.

For any question, suggestion and for bugs reporting, please use my Author Portal or click here (otherwise write a post here or leave a comment on GitHub).

Feedbacks are always appreciated!

Thanks & Credits
All credits and all rights for all AddOns and for all included modules go out only to the authors, whom I thank for their creativity and their work.

now there's 2 ways to deal with that:
adding the respective option as dummy, oder simply change that code to

lua Code:

b:SetPoint("TOP", SwitchLayout, "BOTTOM", 0, -21)

2nd thing: as i'm playing a mage, i noticed the mage portal menu
kind and nice and all, BUT it opens above the minimap, and thus is out of screen
that one was a bit trickier to fix
ShestakUI\Modules\Misc\MagePortals.lua
change line 30 from

i also took the freedom to change the minimap button position to toggle the portal list to the bottomleft, changing line 62 from

lua Code:

button:SetPoint("TOPLEFT", Minimap, "TOPLEFT")

to

lua Code:

button:SetPoint("BOTTOMLEFT", Minimap, "BOTTOMLEFT")

now, i got one question:
the button left to the minimap, above the layout switch button, which is labeled with a red L by default, what does it do? couldn't find it in the script, and nothing seemed to change upon click

thanks for the edit, didn't really like the class color scheme of shestak, and was to lazy to change it myself^^

For the BadTank feature it's an issue of original ShestakUI_Extra (checked right now), I informed Shestak.
EDIT: fixed on GitHub, I'll include it in the next release.

For the mage portal menu, you're right, I don't play a mage very often so I forgot to change the position of portal menu (it opens above the minimap 'cause the default position of minimap of original ShestakUI is the bottom right corner), I'll fix it.
EDIT: fixed on GitHub, I'll include it in the next release.

The button left to minimap is to lock the toggle feature of action bars.

Medusa,
is there any way that I can add an outline to the chat? I think is looks better without the background, but with some outline, I cannot see everything when I am in areas with lost of light and mild colors.
Thank you very much

only one gripe.. lol , the top panel is in a bit of dodgy place by my preference so i moved it!
but this is a personel preference and not in any way a problem.

keep up the good work mate!

Thank you! About the top panel: me too, I'm not 100% convinced on its position, but keeping it on mouseover it's not really a big issue :-)
EDIT: top panel is now disabled by default!

Yes, it's possible but you can't do it thru options menu in game. Anyway, it's easy: go to your AddOns folder and then open the folder called Config located inside ShestakUI; open the file Fonts.lua and change the line 36 from

Lua Code:

["chat_font_style"]="",

to

Lua Code:

["chat_font_style"]="OUTLINE",

and then save.

That's all.

To open Fonts.lua you can use any text editor but I suggest you to use Notepad++.

First having problems with blizzard and the ui nameplate in the mix. As you can see the pic on the bottom.
Second were would you go about changing the color of your cast bar without changing the health bar color.

also the borders of unitframes/actionbar/minimap etc like the first pic on ur ui page.

1. The UI is not ready yet for 5.1 (start the game, click on AddOns button of your characters screen, and you'll see that the "Shestak" AddOns are marked as "Out of date").
EDIT: Fixed!

2. There is no option about changing the color of your cast bar like you want; you can do it, but you need to start to edit the UI by yourself.

3. I think you're talking about my 2nd pic (it's been the 1st pic for awhile, you're right)) :you can't do it thru options menu in game. Go to your AddOns folder, open the folder called Config located inside ShestakUI; open the file Settings.lua e change the line 23 from

Lua Code:

["border_color"]={0.6, 0.6, 0.6, 1}, -- Color for borders

to

Lua Code:

["border_color"]={0.1, 0.1, 0.1, 1}, -- Color for borders

and then save the file and reload the UI.

To open Settings.lua you can use any plain text editor, like Notepad++. Remember to backup this file before updating.

Sorry for being a pest i love this ui too much. I dont know if this a problem or it might be with different layouts for dps/healing. But on my Rshammy its not showing party/raid i looked under raid units ingame and the both box are not checked, but when i do check and a reload of the ui i goes back to being unchecked. On my tank its fine i dont know wants going on can you help. Oh i also looked at the lua under settings both reads true.

So, you say that when you play with your shaman healer you don't see party/raid frames and with your tank you see them instead? Try with a clean/fresh install of the UI.
EDIT: Anyway I really need more info. You get any Lua errors? AddOns enabled other than ShestakUI...? By the way, from version 1.0.6 you have to delete the two folders called ShestakUI_DPS and ShestakUI_Heal: you did it?

Correct on my shammy i dont see party/raid frames on my warrior i do see them.
I'am not getting no errors at all and i did a fresh install backup my wtf and interface folder .
The only addon im using is DBM and Reforgelite. I dont see Shestakui_DPS or Heal folder im guessing its been deleted. So yea im kinda boggleed right now.
